The second-week of mini-camp didn’t produce any major changes but, one is still expected to take place starting Tuesday’s practice. If all goes according to plan, left tackle Trey Teague will go inside to center while Jonas Jennings, last year’s RT, will get snaps at LT. And as Gregg Williams said after practice on Monday, using a Tom Donahoe reference during the Drew Bledsoe talks, "stay tuned" the rest of the week.

Several camps will be summertime hot spots
Drew Bledsoe in a Bills uniform intrigues me. GM Tom Donahoe and his right-hand man, Tom Modrak, know how to build a playoff team and they will right Buffalo’s ship sooner rather than later.
Breaking the Moulds
With the addition of Bledsoe, Buffalo becomes a bona fide contender for New England’s crown. The Bills’ offense — now directed by Kevin Gilbride — has a leader who can get the ball downfield to receivers Eric Moulds, Peerless Price and Josh Reed, the team’s second-round draft pick.

Bills Making National News With New Uniforms
Here's a list of the national appearances that Bills members will be making this week talking about the uniform change. Listen in to hear what they have to say.
5th Down Book: Super Plays
Don Beebe's End Zone Chase: Perseverance. Toughness. The absolute inability to quit. Those are the qualities that make up the greatest play ever in Buffalo Bills history. It's also one of the most memorable plays ever in a Super Bowl, and the lone bright spot in a painful loss for Buffalo.
Bledsoe turns down invitation to attend Superbowl ring ceremony
QB Drew Bledsoe, who was injured early in the season and never regained his starting job, was invited but did not attend the ceremony. WR Terry Glenn, who played four games between injuries and suspensions, did not receive a ring.

Bills' uniforms stay true to red, white and blue
‘"Obviously, it’s going to take more than new uniforms. But hopefully the new guys wearing them will help the Bills get moving in the right direction."’
Defiant Henry faces plenty of challenges in possible break-out year
‘The question is, can he carry the ball 300 times and be effective in December? He had arthroscopic knee surgery in the offseason to relieve the tendinitis in his right knee. Can he thrive while carrying a Bettis-like load?’

Transcript for June 9
‘The French Open is next, but the big sports news: The Buffalo Bills have new uniforms, unveiled yesterday. New aggressive, and there’s the new secret weapon. We’re going back to the Super Bowl. Drew Bledsoe, bring it home one time.’
Mike Doser: Bills' new uniforms the pinnacle of COOL
‘Despite filing a logo for trademark – a “B” folded into the head of a buffalo – the team did not include it. The Bills remain one of only 9 NFL teams to feature jersey numbers on the sides of their shoulders instead of on the tops of them. Many teams have put numbers on the tops so they can include a secondary logo on the sides. The fact remains that the Bills have a secondary logo registered to them, but have decided not to use it.’
Pasquarelli: Some veterans still on the bubble
"The hemorrhaging hasn’t quite stopped yet," said agent Jack Wirth, who represents Jay Riemersma, the Buffalo tight end whose continued tenure with the franchise remains an iffy proposition. "There still could be a little more blood before camp."
